[NBLUG/talk] Wierd directory.

[Steve Johnson]

I have a directory on my redhat box that I can not view even as root.

[root at xxxxx ftp]# ls -la 
total 9
drwxr-xr-x    6 root     root         1024 Jan 16 15:16 .
drwxr-xr-x   23 root     root         4096 Apr 15 15:23 ..
d--x--x--x    2 root     root         1024 Nov  5  2003 bin
d--x--x--x    2 root     root         1024 Nov 19  2003 etc
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         1024 Nov 19  2003 lib
drwxr-sr-x    5 root     ftp          1024 Sep  9  2003 pub

I can't change teh permissions on teh directory either

[root at xxxxx ftp]# !chmod
chmod 700 bin
chmod: changing permissions of 'bin': Operation not permitted


This is new to me, I didn't know that this was even possible.  This is
on a redhat enterprise box

# cat /etc/redhat-release 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 2)

# uname -a
Linux staff.santarosa.edu 2.4.21-9.0.3.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue Apr 20
19:49:13 EDT 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux


Any one have any ideas?

-Steve
